[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPM-2614) TimerSessionBinding does not allow 3rd party TimerSession implementations

TimerSessionBinding does not allow 3rd party TimerSession implementations ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2614 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2614 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 4.x Reporter: Valentin Chira We want to use our own scheduler for Timers but even if the infrastracture is in place one can not configure it's own implementation of TimerSession. The <timer-session/> element allows only target ='ejb' and nothing else will be parsed by the method TimerSessionBinding.parse(). I can't understand why can't I provide my own implementation of TimerSession. the Solution would be to change add and attribute className to <timer-session/> element and to change the TimerSessionBinding.parse() method like this : objectDescriptor.setClassName(XmlUtil.attribute(element, "class")); you can also add a target like 'custom' and only then check the 'class' attribute. Something like this: public Object parse(Element element, Parse parse, Parser parser) { ObjectDescriptor objectDescriptor = new ObjectDescriptor(); String target = XmlUtil.attribute(element, "target"); if ((target!=null){ if ("ejb".equalsIgnoreCase(target))) { objectDescriptor.setClassName("org.jbpm.enterprise.internal.ejb.EnterpriseTimerSession"); } else if ("custom".equalsIgnoreCase(target))) { objectDescriptor.setClassName(XmlUtil.attribute(element, "class")); } } else { // wire the JobExecutorTimerSession objectDescriptor.setClassName(JobExecutorTimerSession.class.getName()); // inject fields objectDescriptor.addInjection("transaction", new TransactionRefDescriptor()); objectDescriptor.addInjection("jobExecutor", new EnvDescriptor(JobExecutor.class)); objectDescriptor.addInjection("session", new ContextTypeRefDescriptor(Session.class)); } return objectDescriptor; }
